Turbosmart Water Cooled 6870 (Kompact) V-Band 0.96AR Externally Wastegated TS-2 Turbocharger

The 0.96 AR turbine housing on this Turbosmart TS-2 turbocharger is a key detail, offering a good balance between quick spool-up for street driving and the ability to sustain boost at higher RPMs. This is a water-cooled unit, which is important for managing the extreme temperatures generated by forced induction, helping to extend the turbo's lifespan and maintain consistent performance. The V-band mounting for the turbine housing makes installation and alignment straightforward, and it provides a solid seal compared to traditional flanged setups. This turbocharger is designed for external wastegate use, giving you precise control over boost pressure. It's a well-built piece from Turbosmart, known for their performance components.

This TS-2 turbo features a 6870 compressor wheel, which is a popular size for many performance applications looking to make significant power gains over stock. The water-cooling system is a notable feature, especially for builds that will see sustained high-boost operation or are used in demanding conditions. Proper plumbing for the water and oil lines is crucial for the longevity and performance of any water-cooled turbo, so be sure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines closely during installation. The external wastegate configuration allows for more efficient boost control and can often handle higher boost levels than internal wastegates.

When considering a turbocharger of this caliber, it's important to ensure your entire engine and fuel system can support its demands. This includes appropriate fuel delivery, engine management tuning, and potentially upgraded intercooling. This Turbosmart unit is a solid option for those looking to significantly increase their vehicle's power output. Please note that this turbocharger is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
